Pretty Little Liars

I think the show was intense and very interesting with suspense. The show could have continued to tie up the rest of the loose ends. At times I was having dreams about being in the woods haha.

I started watching this last summer. I was bored and a friend recommended me this series. I'm not a big fan of scary drama, but I was addicted from episode one.

The characters are unbelievably interesting, and every little detail makes sense. It's the kind of show that keeps you wishing you had more and more episodes available to watch. It's really thought-provoking-- meaning, a lot of theories and ideas are going to start popping up in your head and you'll find yourself addicted to this show soon enough.

If you haven't watched it yet, do yourself a favor and do it. It's absolutely brilliant.

Pretty Little Liars is an interesting teen drama shown on ABC Family. The plot of the show involves a circle of four female friends who become engrossed in a missing persons case when the "queen bee" of their group, Allison, goes missing and the remaining friends find themselves being blackmailed by "A" who seems to know an awful lot of their secrets.

Unlike the other ABC Family teen dramas (i.e. - Secret Life of the American Teenager) I found that Pretty Little Liars has much better character development and the actors who portray them are all very believable and talented. Each character has their own interesting subplot which is what really drives the show. The initial idea of teenage girls being blackmailed definitely was not interesting to me but after the first episode I found myself hooked. I felt like I had to know what happened next to each character, even the ones that seem to have more minor roles.

This may not be a show that will win huge awards since it is definitely meant to appeal to a specific demographic, but it is refreshing to see a teen drama that is not completely based around sex and deals with other common issues too. This show is interesting enough that even if you are not a teenage girl it is still fun to watch and less feminine or religiously biased than other ABC Family series out there.

I used to watch this show, and for the first few seasons it held my interest. But come ON---I don't even care who "A" is anymore. Talk about milking a single plot! I finally stopped watching since the plot just kept getting more and more confusing and ridiculous, with references to characters and things that happened years ago suddenly coming back with no rhyme or reason, endless new bizarre and nonsensical twists and turns, and the always omni-present "A" who seems to know everyone's thoughts and actions while simultaneously thwarting attempts to uncover his/her identity. A decent show that the writers messed up in a big way! If you watch this show, you need a scorecard to keep track of the zillions of characters bouncing in and out at random.
